The WAVFR is configured in Rasoft and signal inputs can trigger lighting scenes or actions in a similar fashion to button presses on a wall panel.
Introduction to Scene Lighting
For many homes, lighting has been controlled in the same way for over 85 years, with only the fittings and bulbs themselves changing. With the increasing demand for better quality and more energy efficient lighting; scene lighting has become more and more popular.
Instead of walking into a room and manually setting each light to a correct brightness, which can in many cases be 3 or more different dimmers, Rako allows you to press a single button and instantly have your room ready for watching TV, entertaining, or just reading a book. Every time you enter a room you can go to a desired pre-set scene.
How about a single button by the front door that turns every light in the house off? Or a second that turns on a welcome home scene based on the times of day or even month of the year?
Energy efficiency
With PIR occupancy switches that gently fade down after a room is left; simple dimming based on usage you can drastically reduce your energy usage and of course save money too.
With most home lighting now based on LED it is important that you can control the brightness to once again achieve the correct mood for a room. Rako have dimmers that are compatible with most forms of lighting as well as full colour changing.
Security and Safety
When you are away for extended time you can ensure that your home looks occupied by mimicking your daily lighting habits in selected rooms.
Rako can also be connected to your fire alarms ensuring in the unfortunate event that they are needed, your home can give you correct levels of lighting allowing you to be able to navigate safely out.
